A – I don’t know why I can’t leave a message on your website anymore – it’s not recognizing my own password on WordPress and the only alternative is to sign in via Facebook (blech) – BUT I love larb and have never had tofu larb – any chance you have the recipe – I looked it up online and couldn’t find it! Also greetings! R * * * * I don’t know either, Rachel.…
Evan Christopher is playing at Cafe Istanbul on Saturday, April 14th – Suleyman stopped by to chat on the porch this afternoon and said everyone is talking about this show. As well they should be. I missed Evan and Chuck Perkins at the Mint the other day and I’m still kicking myself. Sunday, April 15th – Evan’s doing his Jazz Brunch at Clever again – if you haven’t been, you’ve never been to a JAZZ…
I heard someone say that their mother always told them, “When you don’t know what to do, don’t do nothing.” When I’m at my lowest, I want to knock on someone’s door, ring them on the phone, stand there face to face and ask them what I should do next? These are the times I miss my mom most because despite most things, she was a good sounding board. But I always know when I…
So he tells me he is and will always be blue collar. “The most I ever made was $43,000 one year and that job came and went before I had time to let my feet hit the ground.” He seems gay but has been with his wife since they were 15 years old. Her sister’s child called him Daddy since the sister passed so young, and then now calls him Uncle Daddy. She’s mixed race,…
There is a voice in the Universe urging us to remember our purpose for being on this great Earth. This is the voice of inspiration, which is within each and every one of us. Wayne Dyer
As my days have evened out, my nights and dream state have turned into a topsy turvy world of fantastical landscapes that make Gotham City look bright and perils awaiting at every turn if only I (we) knew which way to turn. Almost as though a whole other life is being lived. Or perhaps it is just the mind’s way of digesting sort of the way Tin has to recount his entire day – real…

April 09, 2012 Taurus (4/20-5/20) Today, a vague promise someone made to you long ago is finally starting to turn into a solid deal — you are about to get something you have been wanting for a while. Celebrate by doing something that you feel passionate about, something that lets you be loose and uninhibited. You’ll get bonus points for doing something physical. This is a great time to go out dancing, play some ball…
Yesterday, I found myself at the Zen center learning the ropes on a Catholic holiday in the midst of Passover. A whole lot of shaking going on and I realized yet again, that there are rituals and chanting and incense and reverence that all align under the same heading – but it’s the meditation that draws me there as well as the broad view more than the touchstones. I looked down to see what the…
The thin salt and pepper matzo is a nice update on the fatter, less salty variety I grew up with – although putting butter and sugar on it like I did as a child probably isn’t as good. “Did you have a seder?” “Did you go to a seder?” No, actually I haven’t had or been to one since I became dis-invited from my brother’s seder years ago. And I am the youngest child, who…
